Compiling a particular version of Wine

[Danila Sentiabov]

Hi, everyone.

A n00b problem here :-)
I can't figure out how to compile an old version of Wine with git.
One could always get the latest version with "git fetch && git rebase
origin", but now I need 1.1.28 for testing purposes.
Already tried some lame things and stared at manpages for about half an hour
with no success :-)
Could someone please help me in this matter?

This is what I would do.

[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ git checkout -b my28 wine-1.1.28
Switched to a new branch 'my28'
[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ git describe
wine-1.1.28
[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ cat VERSION
Wine version 1.1.28

The when you are finished with it.

[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ git describe
wine-1.1.31
[ams(a)hal wine-git]$ git branch -d my28
Deleted branch my28 (was f6f458a).

Cool! It looks so perfect :-)
For now I'll probably use Nikolay's solution because I have no custom
patches in my local git tree, but I'll definitely save yours for future.
Thank you both.
